Garnet with thin translucent pale pink rim. Medium, complex nose of strawberry, raspberry, cherry, marshmallow, vanilla, baking spice and cedar/mint. Light to medium body of cranberry, pomegranate and sour cherry bring clean acid to the palate with a baking spice, cinnamon, leather, and earth background. Small smooth tannins leads to a slightly dry finish of berry, pepper and cocoa. Very good balance and good structure make this a good value at $21.32 USD as a sipper or light dish partner.

Raspberry, sour cherry, pomegranate at first. Some nice tobacco and earth. Passable for such a young wine, I guess, once it had some air. Has little tannic structure.

Mostly strawberry with chalky finish. Medium tannin would hold up against red meat and light drinking on a cold winter's day. Sweet recipe wine.

This was nice but essentially simple. It tasted like “Pinot”. No more no less. But on the incredibly hot day we drank it, it was a nice wine to drink.
